This was a fun prompt! I haven’t read much in the mystery genre, so I definitely failed to incorporate that aspect. I think that ghosts are mysterious; and I do love a ghost story. I really like what I named the ship. I might swipe it for other stories. If nothing else, this exercise creates great fodder for other stories.
As always, if you end up using this prompt or any of the other prompts we’ve tried, please let us know – we’d love to see what you come up with! Here’s the format we’re using, if you need a refresher!
